| Summary: | This paper presents an experimental investigation of threshold determination for efficient channel detection in wireless LAN (WLAN) based cognitive radio (CR) networks. The spectrum saturation problem is a critical issue in wireless communication systems worldwide due to on growing user demands day by day with many new applications to the limited frequency spectrum. Hence, present demand is an efficient and intelligent spectrum management and allocation system. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive threshold determination technique based on free space path loss (FSPL) model to detect the presence or absence of PUs. The model is designed especially for Android based smartphones and tablets. The smartphones act as secondary users (SUs) and existing 2.4 GHz WLAN channels as PUs. The network is prepared in a usual noisy lab/outdoor environment and tested for the robustness of the proposed model. Results show the desired range of usable threshold and the channel detection performance depends on the noise floor level of the surrounding environment. |
